Hebraically, neighbor means your friend or someone living near you. However, Yeshua helped us to understand we must learn how to love everyone like we love our friends and people near us. Yeshua died for everyone not just for those who keep Torah.

For Elohim so loved the world that He gave His only brought-forth Son, so that everyone who believes in Him should not perish but possess everlasting life. For Elohim did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. (John 3:16-17 The Scriptures)

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (1 John 2:2 KJV)

Additionally, we must learn how to love the person who is different from us (Luke 10:29-37 The Scriptures).

When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God. (Leviticus 19:33-34 NASB)

The Golden Rule: Therefore, whatever you wish men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Torah and the Prophets. (Matthew 7:12 The Scriptures)

And Yeshua said to him, You shall love God your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your mind. This is the first and great command. And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commands hang all the Torah and the Prophets.(Matthew 22:37-40 The Scriptures)

Are these the only commandments we must keep?
